King: Raiders Could Trade for C.J. Henderson, but CeeDee Lamb 'Pretty Logical'

The Las Vegas Raiders hold the Nos. 12 and 19 picks in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, and Peter King of NBC Sports believes the team will respectively target a wide receiver and cornerback with those picks, namely Oklahoma wideout CeeDee Lamb and Florida corner C.J. Henderson.

He called Lamb a "pretty logical" selection at No. 12. As for No. 19, he added that "Mike Mayock won't be able to pass on Henderson if he's here (and I wouldn't be surprised at a Raider tradeup for him), not after formerly Raider-bound Eli Apple failed his physical and the Raiders got outbid on Byron Jones. Of course, they could go Henderson at [12] and an excellent wideout at 19 too."

The Raiders are one of four teams with multiple first-round picks in this year's draft, along with the Miami Dolphins (Nos. 5, 18 and 26), Jacksonville Jaguars (Nos. 9 and 20) and the San Francisco 49ers (Nos. 13 and 31). Those four teams—along with teams atop the trade board who might consider moving off those picks—will be the power brokers in the first round. 

Looking through various mock drafts, the combination of a defensive back and a wideout is the popular choice for the Raiders.

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah had the team taking Alabama wideout Jerry Jeudy and Clemson corner A.J. Terrell at Nos. 12 and 19 respectively in his latest mock, for instance, while B/R's Matt Miller tweeted his latest mock draft, giving the Raiders Lamb and LSU linebacker Patrick Queen.

In a previous mock draft, Miller had the Raiders taking the Alabama pair of wideout Henry Ruggs III and safety Xavier McKinney.

But Lamb and Henderson would be excellent choices. Miller has Lamb No. 13 overall on his big board and considers him the top slot receiver in the draft, while Henderson is No. 14. Jeremiah, meanwhile, has Lamb at No. 9 on his big board and Henderson at No. 21.

Jeremiah called Lamb a "polished player who is equally explosive and reliable," while Henderson "has some elite traits and could emerge as the top cornerback in this class, but his tackling must be addressed."

Regardless of who the Raiders select, they should come away with two very good players in this draft.
